This week, the Diva asked us to make a duotangle of two patterns: Chebucto and Copada - and nothing else. I really love to make monotangles (with just 1 tangle), but two of them together on a tile is fun too :-)

Thank you for visiting my blog! Your comments are allways much appreciated :-)

Suzy Mosh gave us our random letter for Week #4: U. I chose Up N Down, Unruly, Unme and then... I sort of messed it up with Upholstered. This explains why there's so much black in this tile :-) It was fun to do anyway, because I learned 4 new patterns!

Adele Bruno asked us to tangle Trumpits, Oolo and Fjord in string #084. That was quite a challenge to me... I found it hard to combine these patterns in this string, so I'm very curious to see what other people did!

Friday, January 24, it's Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day. Since her youngest son Artoo has this rare syndrome (5.000 people on the planet live with it), the Diva asked us to use the Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo as a string.
This way, she wants to raise awareness for the fact that this is a disorder affecting nerves, not a disease.

Such a great way to get more attention for this disorder - I'm glad to help this little bit I can. So, I tangled the logo and chose Ahh for the background:

'Ahh, it's hard to live with a chronic disorder (or disease as well, by the way...)'

and

'Ahh, life is full of nice surprises, even with a chronic disorder (or disease ;-) )'

I wish Laura and her family all the best!

P.S. I used Ahh and Copada, and another tangle I don't know the name of. Anybody? It looks like this:

Our random letter at Suzy Mosh's challenge is the letter C. This means we have to use a pattern starting with C that we never used before.

Looking through new patterns, I quickly knew what my choice would be: because of all things happening in Paris last week, it had to be the pattern Charlie. I can't draw cartoons like Charlie, but of course I support freedom of speech.

So, my tile somehow is a close-up of a rainbow (of hope), built with Charlie and some Heart Box.

It looks quite dark to me, but I suppose they match the horrible things that happened.

Hurray, the Diva is back after two weeks of well deserved Holidays! She challenges us to use the UMT (use my tangle) Hitched bij HeidiSue.

Well.... I did some biggifying, some auraing and some shadowing and the result: I'm not sure if this was what I had in mind. It looks OK though, and it gave me a nice practice of this and that. Best of all: there was this great zentangle-feeling :-)

2015 started with a new zentangle challenge: Suzy Mosh challenges us to learn 52 new patterns this year. Every week, she randomly chooses one letter and we're asked to look for one - or more - patterns that start with this letter.

This week, we work with T. I decided to choose three patterns: Tipz, Tropicana, Tearce.
